This video showed up on NBC news of a British Comet tank that somehow ended up in Cuba prior to the Cuban Revolution. It has been painted pink and sits in a farmers field rusting away. Of course, NBC mis-identifies the vehicle as a “Sherman tank.” Click on the image below to watch the clip.

Here are a couple videos created by the Armor and Cavalry Museum at Fort Benning, Georgia. These films are narrated by Museum director Len Dyer and feature the many vehicles found in the Museum collection. The first video deals with WWI era vehicles while the second video deals with WW2. For more information about the Museum and Len Dyer, check out this interview from 2012.

The Tank Museum has posted another installment in their Tank Chats series featuring David Fletcher.

The seventh in a series of short films about some of the vehicles in our collection presented by The Tank Museum’s historian David Fletcher MBE.

Only fifty tanks each of Marks II and III were produced. They were unarmoured, in the sense that the steel from which they were built was not heat treated to make it bullet proof. The reason being that these tanks were only intended for use as training machines.

The chief external differences from Mark I lay in the tail wheels, which were not used on Marks II and III and later heavy tanks, the narrower driver’s cab and the ‘trapezoid’ hatch cover on the roof.
